Time 17m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices bread (Any can be used, but granary or seeded is lovely)
1 teaspoon preferred pesto sauce
1 portabella mushroom
4 bacon, rashers fat removed
4 thin slices cheese (Mozzarella)
olive oil

Steps:

  • Drizzle a reasonable amount of Olive Oil onto a baking tray and place the mushroom(s) on the tray, cap down, drizzle a little oil onto the mushroom.
  • Bake in the oven, on 400, for 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, Fry the bacon in olive oil and add any favourite herbs or seasoning.
  • Remove the portabella mushroom(s) from the oven and top with bacon and cheese. Alternate each so that you would put one slice of cheese, then one slice of bacon, then cheese, bacon, cheese, bacon etc.
  • Put the bacon and cheese topped mushroom(s) back into the oven.
  • Cut out 2 circles, around the same size as the mushroom(s) from the bread - a pint glass or large cookie cutter will do nicely. Toast the bread rounds until golden, remove, spread with pesto (to taste) and put on top of each other.
  • Remove the mushroom(s) from the oven again and place on top of the toasted croutons and pesto.
  • Serve & Enjoy.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing grill pan
4 large portobello mushrooms (about 5 inches in diameter), stemmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 small to medium sized vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).

  • Use a good quality pesto. The pesto is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality one. Look for a pesto that is made with fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make this dish. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, or herbs to create your own unique version.
